Starry-eyed, vampire-loving romantics aren't the only ones jealous of Bella and Edward right now.
Summit Entertainment is primed to split the final Twilight Saga installment, Breaking Dawn, into two films: Author Stephenie Meyer has signed off; Bill Condon's onboard to direct two; and Robert Pattinson is ready to roll, as are Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.
So what's the holdup on declaring Breaking Dawn a twofer?
According to the Hollywood Reporter, it's some of the so-called secondary and lesser-paid stars of the series, particularly Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene, who have not agreed to Summit's terms and are demanding more money for their pale-faced efforts.
A source told the trade that the offers the actors received for the proposed fifth film were "offensive" in comparison with how much dough the franchise has earned. Another insider says, meanwhile, that Summit might be willing to cut ties with at least one of them to "make a point."
Now, fans have already been forced to accept a midsaga cast change: Bryce Dallas Howard replaces Rachelle Lefevre as the murderous Victoria in the upcoming Eclipse.
But there might be a mutiny if the Cullen clan is replaced with newcomers!
I have just found this thread. Let me start by saying
. I have watched the movies many times. And I have read each of the books too many times to count. I'd say more than 12 times, less than 25. (I read kinda fast.)
Ok. I saw the above article on imdb. I have no idea if the stuff in it's true. But I am telling you right now that if either Kellan Lutz or Ashley Greene fail to appear in Breaking Dawn due to Summit's money grubbing I will not be watching either film. I won't change my mind on this.
I had no big problem when they replaced Rachelle Lefevre due to her making scheduling conflicts. But considering the money Summit is making, the actors playing central character which all of the Cullens are, should be paid fairly.
That's my opinion anyway.
